grml-terminalserver

Introduction

Using grml-terminalserver you can boot grml via network. If your
computer is able to boot via PXE (Preboot Execution
Environment) all you have to do is start grml-terminalserver on the host
which should serve as booting server and boot Grml via network/PXE on
the client(s) then. If your computer can't handle PXE you can still try
to boot Grml via network, because grml-terminalserver lets you create a
floppydisk including a bootimage with your networkcard-driver to boot
via network. If that's still not an option for you check out the gPXE project.

How to start grml-terminalserver? Just invoke grml-terminalserver as
user root and follow the instructions. Take a look at the manpages
grml-terminalserver and grml-terminalserver-config.

Boot Grml without grml-terminalserver?

Sure - of course you can boot Grml via PXE without having to use
grml-terminalserver (for example if you already have a working NFS,
tftp,... infrastructure). Take a look at the
instructions in the grml-wiki.
